tion, reference being hadto the accompanyingjdrawings.

his invention relates to certain'improvel ments in radiators and it is an object of the invention to provide a novel and improved device of this general character which is capable of swinging adjustment relative to the source of heat supply.

It is also an object of the invention to rovide a device of this general character a ing novel and improved means whereby the water of condensation within the radiator may be readily and conveniently discharged therefrom.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved radiator whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device is rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageous for 1f1se,lall as will be hereinafter more fully set ort v The novel features of the invention will hereinafter be definitely claimed.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings,-wherein Figure 1 is a view in elevation illustrating a radiator constructed in accordance with an embodiment of my invention;

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, a second position of the radiator being indicated by dotted lines; and

Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical section illustrating the rotatable head with which the radiator is connected, the adjacent portion of the radiator being shown in fi'agment.

'- A disclosed in the accompanying ings, P-P denote metallic plates 0 predetermined configuration and secured one to the other at predetermined points, as indicated at 1.

Pressed from each of the plates Pare the grooves 2 adapted to register to afiord as- DOUGLAS LAY- drawcending and descending conduits in communication one with the other and with the grooves'3' adjacent the lower marginal portions of the plates whereby the same, when in register, afiord a return for the water of condensation, said return afforded by the grooves 3 being in continuation of the conduits afforded by the grooves 2.

The lower bends interposed between the ascending and descending conduits have in communication 'therwith the channels 4:-

which are also in communication with the return so that the water of condensation collected therein may be readily passed to said return. The conduits 4 are also formed of registering grooves pressed from the plates P.

H denotes a head which is operatively engaged with the adjacent ascending column through the medium of the nipple 5 as is believed to be clearly shown in F 1g. 3, while the discharge end of the return is m communication with the head through the medium of the nipple 6. c

The nipple 6 is also in communication with the carry-ofi pipe 7 leading to a suitable point of discharge and through which the water of condensation is adapted to be passed. Thehead H is provided with a depending extension 8 which is in communication with the steam lead pipe or column S and which also affords a means whereb the head H may be rotated so that the ra 'ator may 'be readily swung into differing positions relative to the wall of the room or to the pipe S.

The extension 8 is also disposed through the stand 9 with which is operatively engaged the stationary table 10 provided with" the upstanding flanges 11 interlocking with the head H so that said head H will be mainwater of condensation within the return of r the radiator the head of said water will cause the valve to assume an open position so that said water of condensation may be readily carried ofi through the pi e 7.

It is to be understood that un er normal steam pressure the valve 12 is closed'so that the pipe 7.'

From the thought to be obvious that a radiator conthere will be no circulation of steam through structed in accordance'with my invention is of an extremely simple'and comparatively I inexpensive nature and is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the con-' venience and facility with which it may be assembled, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without material departure from the principles and spirit thereof and mounted for turning movement relative to for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself" to the precise arpractice, except as hereinafter lclaimr l.- In combinationwith a ste radiator and a stationary steam supply pipe, a head fore oing description, it is retirees gaged with the radiator, said head a'dording 25 communication between the radiator and the supply pipe, and a return leading from the radiator and extending through the head and within the supply pipe. a

2. In combination with a steam radiator and a stationary steam supply pipe, a head mounted for turning movement relative to the steam supply p pe and operatively engaged with the radiator, said head afiordin communication. between the radiator an d the supply pipe, a return leading from the radiator and extending'within the head, and a check valve interposed in the portion of the return within the head.

In testimony whereof I hereunto a my 40 signature in the presence of two witnesses. HIRAM D, LAYMAN. Witnesses: I
